"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton
"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message .. . I reckon I should get about ten votes. At least one for not reading the enquirer, one more for reading intelligent newspapers and eight for watching fox news just to **** myself laughing at it. "Fox news" is a contradiction in terms. |

"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton
"Wolfgang Schwanke" wrote in message ... *) Christianity and evolution aren't actually in conflict, except from a very naive interpretation of christianity which is an insult for all mature believers. Even in grade school the nuns taught us that science and faith can easily co-exist. Christian humility should lead believers to the conclusion that "If God chose to create mankind through evolution, thus making us descendants of ape-like creatures and related to everything from pond scum to naked mole rats, that is his will and it doesn't change the end product." OTOH, it is the Creationists who are guilty of overweening hubris. They implicitly are denying that God had the power to create mankind any damn way he pleases, and explicitly asserting that he went through all the trouble of inhabiting the entire earth with bogus scientific evidence just to mislead mankind away from faith in him. Not that I view homo sapiens as being at the pinnacle of the universe, but if you want to carry on the argument over how we got here, you can easily embrace evolution within the framework of religious dogma. |

The attitude is like the black genes are superior to the white genes Tiger Woods is half Asian but the left wing media slobbers over him also like he is all black. I just don't get it. I also resent Obama "hiding" and "ignoring" his white blood. I guarantee when he arrives in the deep South that attitude will not play worth a damn.

Thomas Borchert wrote: Bob, Denying the theory of evolution is not necessarily anti-science. I can't see how it isn't. OK. then we'll just have to disagree Are people going to demand some kind litmus test for embracing science of Presidential candidates? Can we apply that to voters too? It would certainly make sense (in both cases ;-)). Everything happening around us is based in science. A thorough understanding of the scientific process is pretty much mandatory for making decisions, at least if they're supposed to be good ones. The way I look at it is that science can be useful for trying to explain and predict the real world around us. For hundreds of years Newtonian physics provided a pretty good model of the real world and useful for making predictions about how things would work. Scientific evidence today shows that Newtonian physics is incomplete for certain environments. Who knows what other limitations of our understanding exist? -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

: Recently, Bob Noel posted: In article , Thomas Borchert wrote: Bob, I'd rather have someone as President with limited science knowledge That's not the point. Denying evolution is not a lack of knowledge, it is an anti-science stance. It is unforgivable in a president (as has been well demonstrated by the current one, I might add). Denying the theory of evolution is not necessarily anti-science. Are people going to demand some kind litmus test for embracing science of Presidential candidates? If they can't tell the difference between science and religion, they don't qualify for any position that has to make decisions based in science. Or common sense even. To reduce it to a simplistic scenario, if you were a group of farmers living in an entirely agri dependent world, you wouldn't elect a ballerina to represent you. Bertie |

"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton
Well, I am not American, I am a German/French immigrant to Canada and I
describe Obama as black because he is often described so by the press. If it offfends you, well then it offends you, not my problem. Do you have any evidence that Obama is hiding his heritage? It seems he has been fairly clear about it, and the fact that he does not speak "inner city" would indicate to me that he is not anxious to be percieved as anything much different than he appears. Perhaps it will please you better if I describe him as "not 100% Aryan". "WolfRat" wrote in message ... Obama is not black. He is half white.
